Kitchens are always fun to work on because it can make a such a huge impact on the look and feel of a home. However, our kitchen hasn’t changed too much from when we moved in. It is still pretty plain, but we plan to fancy it up in the coming months. That is, once our budget allows.

Here is the kitchen when we first moved in.

We’ve painted some trim and the doors, which has really really brightened up the space. We also added some new pretty door hardware and replaced the faulty oven with a temporary garage sale find.

To add a little farmhouse flair, we painted the peninsula/bar area and framed out an X along the front with 1″x 4″s.

And of course, we installed new flooring.

There is still so much we hope to do to this room! Let’s do a rundown of our to-do list:

Paint the cabinets

Add cabinet hardware

Replace the light fixtures

Paint the walls

Buy new appliances

Make a space in the pantry to hide the microwave

Redo the counter-tops
